Method for storing off-board navigation destination locations

Abstract

A method for verifying and storing location coordinates includes receiving a verification request at a call center, the verification request including location coordinates. The method further includes determining routability of received location coordinates, and transmitting location information from the call center to an off-board navigation device based on the determination. The method further includes, storing the location information. A system and a computer readable medium including computer program code for verifying and storing location coordinates are also disclosed.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method of verifying and storing location coordinates, the method comprising:
 receiving a verification request at a call center, the verification request including location coordinates; 
 determining, via a navigation server running computer readable code encoded on a non-transitory computer readable medium, routability of received location coordinates by:
 classifying the received location coordinates as a location type selected from i) a street address, ii) a road segment, and iii) an off-road location; 
 determining whether the location type is navigable via a vehicle; and 
 classifying the location type as navigable or not navigable; 
 
 from the determining, identifying that the location type is not navigable via the vehicle; 
 providing a message that the location type is not navigable; and 
 indicating that the location type has not been stored as a result of it being not navigable. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining whether the classified location type is navigable includes determining whether a route can be generated to the location. 
     
     
       3. A non-transitory computer usable medium including a program having computer readable code embodied therein for verifying and storing location coordinates, the computer readable code configured for:
 receiving a verification request at a call center, the verification request including location coordinates; 
 determining routability of received location coordinates by:
 classifying the received location coordinates as a location type selected from i) a street address, ii) a road segment, and iii) an off-road location; 
 determining whether the location type is navigable via a vehicle; and 
 classifying the location type as navigable or not navigable; 
 
 wherein when a determination is made that the location type is not navigable via the vehicle, the computer readable code is further configured for: 
 providing a message that the location type is not navigable; and 
 indicating that the location type has not been stored as a result of it being not navigable. 
 
     
     
       4. The computer usable medium of  claim 3 , wherein the computer readable code for verifying the location coordinates comprises computer readable code for determining whether a route can be generated to the location. 
     
     
       5. A system for verifying and storing location coordinates, the system comprising:
 means for receiving a verification request at a call center, the verification request including location coordinates; 
 means for determining routability of received location coordinates including:
 means for classifying the received location coordinates as a location type selected from i) a street address, ii) a road segment, and iii) an off-road location; 
 means for determining whether the location type is navigable via a vehicle; and 
 means for classifying the location type as navigable or not navigable; 
 
 means for providing a message that the location type is not navigable; and 
 means for indicating that the location type has not been stored as a result of it being not navigable.
